Stefan Kay - Why I'm leaving a legacy

Mechanical Engineering graduate Stefan Kay, OBE, is a well known face around Heriot-Watt, having been Student President in the 1960s, and later as Director of Campus Services at the Scottish Borders Campus.

He is a strong supporter of Heriot-Watt’s fundraising efforts, and has himself put in place plans for a legacy. “My association with Heriot-Watt now goes back more than 50 years, and it seems right to give something back.

Some people can only give a little time; others money and some both - it is worth doing. There are a number of charities which I support which do worthy work.

The University is one of those, and a legacy is a useful way of ensuring this work can continue long into the future.”
